Chimichurri is a parsley based sauce from Argentina that is commonly used to season steak and other grilled meats. Over the last while I have been seeing some mouth watering posts about steak with chimichurri sauce and I had to try it. Though parsley may not be my favorite herb, it is probably the herb that I use most often and I liked the sound of a steak dressed simply with a tasty parsley sauce. I could not get the thought of a medium rare steak out of my mind so I decided to make steak with the chimichurri sauce. I seasoned the steak simply with just salt and pepper to allow the chimichurri sauce to be the star of the show. Ideally you would grill the steak but I do not have access to a grill so I pan seared the steak in a bit of oil until just medium rare. The steak with chimichurri sauce was good! The chimichurri sauce was nice and cool and refreshing and at the same time it had a touch of heat.

Chimichurri sauce along with pesto is always one of those end of season culinary creations that gets made. Seems to be the time where I have a ton of each herb and I don't want the evil frost monster to claim them.

This is a great excuse for me to use the huge parsley bush we have. Parsley is the least used herb in our mini-garden, yet the bush is the biggest one there! It's even bigger than our mint and rosemary bush, which have been growing like wild fire.

Cimichurri, steak, Argentina - all seem to flow into one senence. You'v'e done i justice. Now all you need is one of those big huge Argentinian grills and you've got it made. Is there enough room on the balcony?
